ESA/REG/001, rev.2 Annex III,rev.1 Page 84 6.7.3 As a result of the overall assessment of proposals, the TEB shall make a final recommendation for awarding the work order to the framework contractor who offers the most economic and effective employment of the Agency’s resources. This shall be the best combination of the total weighted mark and when applicable the industrial policy measures and/or the geographical return requirements or any other requirements established in the RFP at the time of its issuing . In the case of general procurements, this shall be the lowest price proposal acceptable under all the evaluation criteria. For RFPs superior or equal to 20 000 000 Euro a final recommendation for awarding the work order can only be made for a proposal if the latter has obtained a minimum overall weighted mark of at least sixty (60). 6.7.4 The TEB shall also identify the main items that would require negotiation with the recommended framework contractor prior to the placing of a work order and such findings shall be clearly identified in its report. 6.7.5 The TEB shall recommend only one proposal unless it was indicated in the RFP that more than one work order could be placed. In such a case, the TEB shall recommend the proposals which come in decreasing order in the overall assessment provided they are of a good quality. 6.8 Submission of the final evaluation report for decision 6.8.1 The Technical officer shall submit the final evaluation report to the Initiating Authority and to the Head of the local procurement division/ service for joint decision. 6.8.2 In order to help them in their decision the Initiating Authority and/or the Head of the local Procurement division/ service may require a copy of the proposal (s) recommended. 6.8.3 At this stage, the TEB Chairperson together with the Contract officer shall give an oral report to the Director General, the responsible Director, the Head of the Procurement Department, the Initiating Authority, the Appointing Authority and to the Head of the local Procurement division/ service, when required by them. 6.9 Referral of the final report back to the TEB Exceptionally, in case of doubt as to the correctness or completeness of the evaluation, the Initiating Authority and/or the Head of the local Procurement division/ service may refer the matter back to the TEB Chairperson and Contract Officer in writing with their detailed comments for further evaluation by the TEB; they shall, however, not direct changes to evaluation criteria, weighting factors or marks.
